Gift Aid

How does it work?

So long as you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid enables you to boost the value of your donations by as much as 22p for every £1 you give to your favourite charity. So, for example, if you decide to give £10 to AVIF, we will be able to claim an extra £2.20 from HM Revenue & Customs. It might not sound like a lot, but every penny really does count! What is more, if you are a higher rate taxpayer, you are entitled to claim tax relief on your donations, enabling you to reclaim from every £1 donated to charity.

What do you need to do?

To donate through Gift Aid, all you need to do is complete a simple declaration (orally or in writing) confirming that you are a taxpayer and that you are happy for us to claim tax relief on your donation. Just one declaration can apply to all donations that you have made to us and to any forthcoming gifts you make, until you notify them otherwise. It is that simple.
